Hi,

Im having a code below for copying data from workbook to another. The Master file is stored in SharePoint so I would like to have backup file as well to be stored in server.
Any ideas how to modify the code so that it updates the backup file also each time the macro is running?

VBA Code:
Sub CopyData()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim LastRow As Long, i As Integer, ActSht As Worksheet

    Set ActSht = ActiveSheet
    LastRow = ActSht.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
 
    Workbooks.Open Filename:="path...."
    Worksheets("Master").Unprotect Password:="password"

    For i = 2 To LastRow

        If ActSht.Cells(i, 15).Value = "Yes" Then

        Range(ActSht.Cells(i, 1), ActSht.Cells(i, 14)).Copy Worksheets("Master").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
          
        End If
    Next i
 
              
    Worksheets("Master").Protect Password:="password"
    ActiveWorkbook.Save
    ActiveWorkbook.Close
 
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Prior to saving and closing your workbook...

VBA Code:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs "c:\path_to_backup_folder\" & ActiveWorkbook.Name

By the way, since it looks like you're not making any changes to your master workbook. If this is the case, you can simply close the workbook without saving as follows...

VBA Code:
ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False

Hope this helps!
